Perhaps because this page was posted on the Interent
in April 1999,
it is the first page you get when searching Google for
"imprinted sexual fantasies".
Because it has been available for so many years,
lots of links must have been created.

Now (2008) it will be used to lead you to
some other good rooms in An Existential Philosopher's Museum:

A
Presentation by James
Park------------------------------------------------------Sexology

The Sex-Script
Hypothesis:

Imprinted Sexual
Fantasies

SYNOPSIS:

Our sexual responses
often
seem mysterious even to ourselves.
We may feel that our 'sex-drives' possess
us rather than we possessing them.
This presentation and discussion will outline
a new hypothesis
which may be one step toward a comprehensive
theory of human sexuality.
Older theories have tried to explain our
sexual
responses
either in terms of our biological heritage—animal
sexuality—
or in terms of social learning—the
way we develop most behaviors.

But the sex-script
hypothesis
presents a third possible explanation:
Our internal sexual responses may have been
imprinted into us at an early age.
During certain critical periods in our
psycho-sexual
development,
particular images, stories, and sexual
responses—our
"sex-scripts"—
were imprinted in our brains more or less
at random.
And these sexual fantasies remain with us
for the rest of our lives.

A basic analogy that may
help us understand sexual imprinting
is the phenomenon of acquiring a native
language.
When we were infants, we quickly and
permanently
acquired our first language.
It seems that the 'language-file' is open
for such imprinting
only during the first few months of life.

We do not know just when
the human "sex-file" is opened for imprinting,
but we may be able to identify specific events
which had a remarkably permanent impact on
our sexual responses.
Much more research is needed to explore the
possible connection between
adult sexual responses and sexually-imprinting
events in childhood.
